I always use interactive journalling pads so that I double or triple my space. Another thing I've started doing is also writing on the back of the page. Nobody can see the writing, but in many years to come, somebody will find it and know my innermost thoughts. Family Fun Facts Album - Blog Entry20 Aug 2006 01:48 AM FANTASTIC. Those little facts mean so much. Thank you Lisa. Fathers and postnatal depression - Blog Entry20 Aug 2006 01:24 AM Valorie what does the acronymn JMHO represent? It's probably also a no-brainer but I really don't have any idea what it stands for. Who to invite to the delivery? - Journal Entry19 Aug 2006 10:39 PM Oh gosh, I read this and went and had a drink of water straight away. I had a drink for you Nikki. Good luck with it all - especially those difficult decisions around who to have there. My thoughts are with you. Fathers and postnatal depression - Blog Entry19 Aug 2006 05:04 PM Interesting how research on the inequitable division of labour is now supporting the declining mental health of mothers. I hope that the conclusions from the study find a loud voice in the area of early intervention - before our kids even think about having babies. Women can do anything is somewhat different to woman have to do everything. I'm going to print this and give to my daughter Beth. She is thinking of having babies. Now's the time to make it pointedly clear to her that she doesn't have to do everthing and that she needs to expect and demand an equal division of household labour. Hamster Horror Stories - Blog Entry19 Aug 2006 01:18 AM I LOVE the idea of pets...as long as I don't have to look after them!. I had mice as a YP and my older children also had mice. I know the horror of finding the remnants! Imagine my surprise when we took our youngest to purchase fish last weekend and he walked out with two mice. Two females of course. This morning when cleaning their cage, I held the mice while child 4 cleaned their cage. Such lovely little creatures, until...I couldn't help myself..."Oh my God, it's got testicles!". So, we await the pleasure of having to separate babies and mother from daddy mouse. Oh my gosh - I should have stuck with the dingo I wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could YOU have a breakdown? - Blog Entry16 Aug 2006 03:16 AM Very good analogy Beth. I had an extremely supportive family as a child...and thank goodness they were around when my marraige broke down. For the only time in my adult life I was unable to work. I took 6 months off work because I couldn't concentrate or function. I cried every day for 2 years following my husband leaving. My family supported and loved me through the whole trauma. I know I am indeed fortunate to have them and I thank them for their protective care of me. My house was rebuilt but it took 6 months of rebuilding and then 2 years to take the scaffolding away. I needed it there just incase my new building required a paint touch up. To my family, thank you. Is your past affecting your present? - Blog Entry15 Aug 2006 03:31 AM Hey Beth, I hope I didn't chose my partner based on what my thoughts and feelings were when I first met him - I couldn't stand him and he thought I was big time weird! It is funny though. I am unable to see my parents in my partner but I clearly see our parents in the spouses of my siblings. It will be interesting to ask them if they see Mum or Dad in my darling. Caribbean Pasta with Shrimp - Blog Entry14 Aug 2006 08:01 PM YUM. I'm going to try this. I can equate most of the ingredients to Aussie language (corn starch = corn flour, bell pepper = capsicum) but what is the garnish cilantro? If you can explain what it looks and smells like I'll track down the closest substitute. Timesaving Tips For Working Parents - Blog Entry14 Aug 2006 06:24 PM I freeze sandwitches for lunch boxes too. I make a heap on a weekend, wrap them individually and throw them in the freezer. I also collapse time by putting on a load of washing as I'm going to bed and put it out to dry first thing in the morning. I hang shirts and dresses straight onto coat hangers so then I can just hang them in cupboards when dry. Sewing on buttons? It's been so long that I can't remember how to do it. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 |
